Charles Ray artist

Why is there a naked man? No, mannequin with a real private area?
- Why not another part be real? Like the face?
A clock with legs? Why have legs hanging out the clock?

One thing about the artist is that he wants to draw attention instead of expressing an emotion.
Why draw attention? Why not show your nature through your artwork like everyone else?
- there's no need to be drastic
- it is simple, but definitely not boring

The artist tends to create offbeat situations
- make you feel awkward
"What drugs do is redesign the world a little. Not too much, just enough to make you realise how fascinating your surroundings could be if you really paid attention."
* to be honest i love this quote
* it's actually quite true
- simple objects become amazing

Doesn't really shove his artwork down your throat/ doesn't let you get the idea quickly
- wants you to think about it/ take your time to analyze it
+ basically to let your mind wander a bit
But what if one's mind were to wander in the wrong direction?
- what if they get the wrong perception?
- does he actually want them to guess right? or does he enjoy different outcomes?

His ideas of his works are done from his experience in childhood. During his memory lost every little thing fascinated him.
Why is it the artist did not mind not knowing who he was?

"We rely on the reliability of clocks"
* i always say that time is just a bunch of numbers that we wrap our lives around
* when you think about it, we have all the time in the world to do as we please
* we don't have to always follow a set schedule

Placing a part on a mannequin that isn't suppose to be there
- yet on the human body it's appropriate
+suppose to be there
- simple act changes the meaning
+ no longer is just a mere mannequin for dressing up in clothes

The artist basically brings his ideas to the table in different manners.
